It’s been a long wait, but we’re finally going to step back into Gotham City with the heroes Gotham Knights. Developed by Arkham Origins‘ WB Montreal, the story takes place in the wake of Batman’s apparent death (yeah right…) and sees his sidekicks teaming up to bring peace back to the streets. These will be Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl and Red Hood, who’ll unite their talents to bring down various villains.
One aspect that’ll separate this from previous games is a focus on co-operative play. According to reports, Gotham Knights will allow players to team up online as two of the heroes and battle in tandem with one another. The presence of four heroes has led many to believe that it could feature four-player co-op, but it seems to be limited to just two players at any one time. This is very much in vogue at the moment and will be seen in the distinguished competition’s Marvel’s Avengers very soon.
This has the potential to be very fun, though there’s some disquiet in the gaming community about how important the online component will be. One major worry is that the game features heavy RPG elements, including levelling, scaled damage and in-game currencies, all of which usually point the way towards the dreaded “games as a service” model.
I just hope that any microtransaction or pay-to-win stuff is minimized as much as possible. Most players have had to get used to some level of loot boxes or paid cosmetics, so let’s stay positive for now. Anyway, the short sequences in Arkham Knight when you got to take on a predator room as Batman alongside Robin were one of the most fun parts of the game. Fingers crossed we get something on those lines. More Gotham Knights as we hear it.
